Trick to play Flash Games in Full Screen

This is a pretty simple trick for playing flash games full screen without the ads and in full screen so those stray mouse clicks don't cause unwanted navigation.

Here is an example using Zelda from bestonlinegames.info
1. Go to -->Menu-->Utility-->Gexec
2. Enter the following code in the dialogue box:

Code:

bareview http://www.bestonlinegames.info/bestgames/Zelda/Zelda.swf

Edit--> to get the links to the actual swf for games on a site
-->Google advanced search
-->In the file type section choose Shockwave Flash (.swf)
-->In "Search within a sight or domain enter the url of a trusted game site (I used bestonlinegames.info)
-->Repeat the search with omitted results included
-->Right click on the link and select copy link location and follow the steps above
-->Note1: you can leave the url section blank and it will look at the whole web (swf is not a "secure" format so I don't recommend this)
-->Note2: use the "Find web pages that have" section to find certain game types (ex. rpg OR strategy or shooter)
-->Note3: I am intentionally not explaining how to download the games because I do not want to encourage copyright infringement but it will be plainly obvious when you right click

cool, nice list
try this
copy the list into a file called foo
now download all the games locally with
wget -i foo
WARNING: there are currently 72MB worth
now in a rox window right click on one of the files and do set run action
bareview "file://$1"
now they work offline and you can start a game just by clicking on it_________________Will

Thanx, but that doesn't work real well for sesamestreet.org. They have "portlet" flash movies which talk back to a server db to get the games, videos and other content references and present them to the user.

Wheels within wheels really. Googling the site following your method only lists the references to the "portlet" swfs. Guess the Sesame Street Workshop people don't want make things too easy for Google Hackers.

thanks HairyWill! It is a great trick! It's cool to play flash games without the browser!

Running flash games with puppy linux is a cool way to play free and without problems.

there is a easier way to get swf!
I know this work on windows firefox, but i cannot confirm in linux firefox.
To use windows firefox, get the latest wine, dev version.
Go to portableapps.com and grab firefox
first, go to the website u want to download and play. Select full screen mode
second, go to file, save page as and save it. It should b in swf, but any other format should b fine, other than html and php.
U should b able to download with the missing plugin.
Third, press the swf file. The game should b launched via yr default linux web browser.
I hoped im clear

Hi all
I am not sure how to obtain an swf file to play when offline
If someone would be so kind to post or pm me on how to do so
it would be much appreciated _________________Anyone can build a fast processor. The trick is to build a fast system. (Seymour Cray)

I right click in the flash frame, view source, look for the appropriate .swf url (usually a relative link) and paste it into its parent url, then save-as._________________Web Programming - Pet Packaging 100 & 101
